Detailed Description
Three girls are depicted in an interior setting, engaged with musical instruments. On the left, a girl stands facing forward, holding a violin and bow. She has long, light blonde hair flowing over her shoulders and wears a white dress with a ruffled collar and tiered skirt. Her feet are clad in black socks and black Mary Jane shoes. In the center, a girl is seated at a dark brown upright piano, her right hand resting on the keys. She has long, light blonde hair styled in a braid over her left shoulder, adorned with a blue ribbon. She wears a blue dress with white polka dots and a ruffled hem. Her feet, in dark shoes, are visible beneath the dress. To the right of the piano, a third girl stands, looking up towards the piano's music stand with her hands clasped in front of her. She also has long, light blonde hair, tied with a white bow, and wears a white dress with a ruffled skirt and a sash. Her feet are in black socks and black shoes. The piano is a dark, ornate wooden instrument with sheet music open on its stand. A vase of red and yellow flowers sits atop the piano. The background features muted tones of brown and blue, suggesting drapes or a wall, while the floor is a polished light brown with visible wood grain.
